Identification and Characterization of Novel Rat Polyomavirus 2 in a Colony of X-SCID Rats by P-PIT assay

mSphere, 2016
Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are known to infect a wide range of vertebrates and invertebrates and are associated with a broad spectrum of diseases, including cancers, particularly in immune-suppressed hosts. A novel polyomavirus, designated rat polyomavirus 2 (

SYK Signalling in NLRP3 Inflammasome‐Mediated Response of Murine Microglia Activated by Immune Complexes Formed of Viral Proteins and Specific IgG

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
IC‐mediated inflammatory response—the NLRP3 inflammasome activation, cytokine secretion, and antigen presentation depend on SYK signalling pathways in primary murine microglia. ABSTRACT Viral infections might trigger systemic inflammatory responses characterised by inflammasome activation and cytokine release, driven by immune complex (IC) formation ...

A Novel Human Polyomavirus Closely Related to the African Green Monkey-Derived Lymphotropic Polyomavirus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT We identified a novel human polyomavirus from a kidney transplant patient under immunosuppressive treatment, by use of a generic PCR. The genome of the virus was completely amplified and sequenced. In phylogenetic analyses, it appeared as the closest relative to the African green monkey-derived lymphotropic polyomavirus (LPV ...

Nonclassical MHC‐I Molecules: Emerging Therapeutic Targets in Next‐Generation Immunotherapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Immunotherapies dependent on classical MHC‐I molecules face significant challenges, including extreme polymorphism and frequent downregulation in pathological conditions. This review discusses how nonclassical MHC‐I molecules (HLA‐E, HLA‐F, HLA‐G, CD1, MR1) may potentially circumvent these limitations through restricted genetic diversity, stable ...

Paediatric renal transplantation: Paediatric surgeons' perspective

Surgical Practice, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 117-122, May 2026.
Abstract Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment for paediatric end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), offering advantages in survival, growth and neurocognitive development that surpass other renal replacement therapies (RRT). The paediatric setting, however, introduces distinct complexities that distinguish it from adult practice.

Prevalence in England of Antibody to Human Polyomavirus (B.K.) [PDF]

BMJ, 1973
Over 500 human sera were tested by complement fixation and haemagglutination inhibition tests for antibody to the human polyomavirus (B.K.). Both tests showed that antibody to this virus was very common in the population and began to be acquired after the age of 1 year.

Brincidofovir inhibits polyomavirus infection in vivo

mBio
Polyomaviruses are species-specific DNA viruses that can cause disease in immunocompromised individuals. Despite their role as the causative agents for several diseases, there are no currently approved antivirals for treating polyomavirus infection ...

An Accurate Genetic Colocalisation Method for the HLA Locus

HLA, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic colocalisation analyses are frequently conducted to determine if causal signals at a genetic locus are shared between two phenotypes. However, colocalisation is rarely undertaken at the HLA locus, due to its complex linkage disequilibrium (LD) and high polymorphism density.

Quantitation of Human Seroresponsiveness to Merkel Cell Polyomavirus

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a relatively uncommon but highly lethal form of skin cancer. A majority of MCC tumors carry DNA sequences derived from a newly identified virus called Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV or MCPyV), a candidate etiologic agent underlying the development of MCC.
